Do you see the yellow cheesy stuff in the birds mouth? If one has it, then there's a VERY good chance the other has it too or will have it, so you need to treat them both. Most here use Spartrix that can be purchased at all the pigeon supply companies.......thing is, today is Thursday, so you wouldn't get it until next week unless you order right now and get overnight delivery.

tHERE IS THE YELLOW STUFF IN HIS MOUTHBefore I posted my orginal post I looked and saw the yellow stuff and assumed thats what it was. I feel really bad for him. The other one looks ok so far I checked his mouth and saw nothing.
I really don't have pigeon supply stores where I live But I will call around. How much do I give them. Will it be liquid? Let me know Thanks again Bonnie

I don't know about the FishZole..........but if you can get it, get it, and then we'll figure out how to dose it.
There are a million (not really) pigeon fanciers in Baltimore, but I can't get to the IF web site to look them up. I would expect one of them has what you need............could you get to Baltimore if you needed to?

I didn't check to see how close or far these other places are to you. I just listed everything I found in MD. There is a fancier in Baltimore by the name of Matt Hicks, but his number is unlisted. I'm still looking for it and if I find it I'll send it to you. I know he will help if he can.

You can also contact the AU. They can give you some contacts for any clubs in your area and probably give you some names of people to call. There's a guy named Keith in the LRM club, but that's all the info I have on him.

Mourning doves are a protected species and should be surrendered to a licensed rehabber......Wouldn't you think the rehabber would have plenty of canker meds on hand and be willing to share enough for your pet pigeon?????

I am at work...and work long hours usually...Is there anything like it that I could get at the Petsmart or Petco in the meantime. Will he die before I can get the medication? He is so sweet and want to help in anyway I can. I also don't want my other bird to get it either.
I will try to check and see if any of the people are near where I work and possibly see if they are available at lunch time if I can leave Thanks Bonnie

Try pet stores that specialize in fish and ask for Fishzole or anything with 100% pure metracondidazole [sp].
